Heritage University

Heritage University sits at #163 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 41 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.22% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

44.1% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Full-time students complete at 57.0% against 35.0% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Heritage University. First-time entrants complete at 49.7% against 36.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $15,563 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,165 median across the 10 BSW colleges in Washington. 79.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. Net price is the number that matters when comparing programs, not sticker tuition — and because most social work roles are with government or nonprofit employers, graduates are typically eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
